1 Kings 2:7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Show kindness to the sons of Barzillai David's gratitude here expressed is remarkable. Barzillai only desired him to show kindness to Chimham, 2 Samuel 19:37; but he extends it to all his sons. Let them be of those that eat at thy table As Mephibosheth had done at David's table. It is probable Mephibosheth was now dead, for otherwise David would not have forgotten him. For so they came to me Such kindness they showed me; inviting him to Barzillai's house, who sustained him in his great distress, 2 Samuel 19:32.

1 Kings 2:7

7 But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
